OK, tidying up my 15 year old sons room today and his Kindle was on the floor. Being curious (and I guess a cautious mum) I looked at his Kik messages to see who he was chatting to...... I read a very intimate and highly explicit conversation between my son and another person (I assumed was a girl!) also talking about being in love and obviously the pair had become very close as the messages had been going on for weeks... My son loves anime and the 2 had exchanged some pics, when I looked at them I realised that they were of 2 men and then it hit me that the person my son is chatting to is a boy! Rereading the messages it made sense. I was so shocked I almost dropped the flipping Kindle, but had a look at other conversations and my son had actually been sending /receiving similar gay anime pics and talking about wanting to 'come out' to other boys . I don't care if he gay, straight, bi, trans etc... He is my first born, I love and adore him and I just want him to be happy. What the heck do I do now though?! I can't tell him I read his messages because he'll never forgive me!but there's a part of me extremely worried that he could be taken advantage of by someone in a chat room... He perhaps has a lovely naiveness where he doesn't realise that people are not always who they are online even though we have had the chat about online safety many times. I just don't know what to do, I don't want him to go through this alone 😕
